Probably easy answer but...
How do I display 0 digit precision on a drawing for weight [through $PRP] and yet maintain 2digit accuracy for measurements, etc.
Right now I am forcing measurements to 0 digits [to get mass to 0 digits], resulting in no accuracy for real measurements.
Thanks KS NH, USA
The mass property will display in the precision of the model as I understand it. The precision of the drawing controls the local dimensions.
The string to get the mass property is as follows.
"SW-Mass@$PRPSHEET:"SW-File Name".SLDPRT" for a part file and "SW-Mass@$PRPSHEET:"SW-File Name".SLDASM" for an assembly

FLASH!!!! With SW2005, you can now control the display precision of the mass properties separately from dimensions, etc. Go to Tools/Options/Document Properties/Density units. If you have a note tied to the property and you change the decimal places, you have to rebuild to have the note pick it up.

That solved all your problems from a few weeks ago didn't it Wayne.

Interesting that you would remember that. I found it last week and immediately recognized that it should allow the display of the mass property value to be controlled. And, yes, I think it does make the use of the property possible now. I haven't had time to really work out the code & everything, but it looks quite hopeful.
